LED not working

see this causes and fix it. God bless you
If you have a stuck key or non-responsive key, most of the time you will have to replace the keypad for this microwave oven repair. If your keypad is connected to your control board by a flat ribbon wire, try disconnecting it and clean the silver contacts with an ordinary pencil eraser. After cleaning, plug it back in and try it. If it doesn't fix it, replace the keypad unit. Some units actually have keypad tests to confirm your diagnosis of a bad key.If your keypad and control is the same unit, replace that unit. Another note, unlike stove/oven keypads and controls, most microwaves do not have error codes or tests to distinguish whether it is truely the keypad or control. Most of the time, it is the keypad that needs replacing, but a small percentage of the time it can be the control. Check the tech sheet if they can point you to the right part.

Touchpad and Control Panel If the microwave buttons don't work the touchpad and control panel assembly are probably defective.

Touchpad If the microwave buttons don't work the touchpad might be at fault. Generally speaking, if the display is working and some of the buttons respond correctly but some don't, the problem is with the touchpad.
ser Control and Display Board If the microwave buttons don't work the main control board is most likely defective and will need to be replaced.

Main Control Board If the microwave buttons don't work the main control board is most likely defective and will need to be replaced.

How do I replace the fuse

Unplug mirowave, remove top, "several screws" look to the right where the keypad control board is, now look down where you will find a circuit board, nearby the fuse should be visable, "clipped in" pop it out and replace with the same current rating, assemble before test, "lethal voltages present"

You have a failing membrane keypad.

On some models, you have to replaced the keypad separately.

I have uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically involved.

On other models, you can replace the whole control panel frame, which comes with a new keypad already installed.

You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

You can also get details there if you need more help with the repair.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

I have a two year old GE JVM1540 Over the oven microwave. For some reason the keypad does not respond to any touch. It just has the display panel scrolls press start but doesn't allow any action.

These units are known for this problem. You cook on stove and stream gets into keypad causing keypad not to respond anymore. The good news is keypad can be replaced, the bad news is it will happen again and the keypad costs around $125. GE will not admit to any problem, but I see this problem alot. You can get a new keypad at appliancepartspros.com
